Erm, that was supposed to be “suppose”. I’ve never been drunk _or_ stoned, let alone enough to try _that_! ---

A joke my dad told me when I was about 17, having to do iwth a spittoon, its contents and a bet between the tough cowboy patrons of a bar in which the spittoon resided. For those of you who can’t imagine past this point, or haven’t heard the joke, trust me, you do NOT want to know. ---

But **inkleberry** ’s [mention](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6234288&postcount=31) recently of having a clitoral hood piercing torn out succeeded. Hee hee hee. Yes!\* \*in reality, it barely hurt and didn’t bleed. The bead of the CBR came out, and the ring followed shortly thereafter, in a rather abrupt but not too traumatic manner. ---

> [@missbunny](#): > > Heavens no! You can’t take them out. They’re not like studs in your earlobes. > > Well obviously you CAN take them out if you have to, but it’s not easy and depending on the style you need a special tool (ring pliers), and hood piercings heal extremely quickly. It might close in a couple of hours. Plus it’s very difficult to put it back in on your own, even if you could get it out. > . \ I’m guessing you haven’t been too near many piercings…Once healed, they stay open just fine. I got mine done in 1995, and I haven’t put anything in it in a few years, but I easily could. Sure, mine will go down from a 10/12g to an 18/16g, but being that that sort of skin is sooo stretchy, it goes back to a regular 14 within a few days on it’s own. That’s actually one of the problems with them- they stretch themselves most annoyingly. Anyway, a 14g or smaller is very easy to open just with fingers. Don’t drop that bead though! And with practice, getting a ring in or out is pretty quick, like any other earring. The “it’ll close right up!” fear/hope that so many Gen Xers had isn’t that accurate, sadly. Mouth piercings, such as tongue, do tend to close up, eventually. But most others don’t, although they shrink. Basically, once healed, a piercing is like a tunnel of scar tissue. Full healing can take up to a year for some piercings. Prior to that, yeah, you can close them. But once fully healed, you got 'em for good most of the time. This is kinda sad, as in my heyday I had an eyebrow ring, nostril, labret, and 1/2" ear lobe piercings. All still open and could have a small gauge inserted. The ears are still about a 10g, though I have been letting them shrink since Fall 2003.\ ---

> [@inkleberry](#): > > \ > The “it’ll close right up!” fear/hope that so many Gen Xers had isn’t that accurate, sadly. Well, no one mentioned that to my clitoris. I removed the barbell after having it in for three years just to see what sex was like without it. We tried to put it back in within 24 hours and there was only a dimple on either side where the piercing had been, and trust me, we _tried_. While it was quite an experience the first time, having a needle shoved through the thick of my clit a second time isn’t something I’m terribly interested in doing… [/tmi] ---
